Uber is also planning to open an office for 3k employees in Dallas.
"...create 3,000 full-time jobs and pay employees an average salary of at least $100,000..."
Considering the lower cost to operate in TX it would make sense to move IT roles to that area.

- dmode 7y agoThe Dallas office is an administrative office and will not have eng roles. Also, these are all "promises", we really have to see how it plays out. Promises are cheap. Remember how Foxcon was going to hire 10k people in Wisconsin
- txcwpalpha 7y agoThat isn't what the article in the parent comment says: >The office would include engineers, finance executives, salespeople and other roles across Uber's business.

- seax 7y ago"engineers" is a pretty nebulous term these days though.
- Jweb_Guru 7y agoStatements like that ("we will create N jobs!") are completely meaningless.
- freyr 7y agoI know many engineers who want to get out of the Bay Area. San Francisco is a disaster, they’re priced out of the the peninsula, and commuting one or two hours each way from the hinterlands loses its appeal real fast. That said, getting laid off like this would be much harder to bounce back from if you were not in a tech hub.
